VMWare tools for Solaris 10

       网上的文章都差不多，说是mount iso文件（solaris.iso ，我的是在vm安装目录下）后可以在/cdrom/vmwaretools 下找到安装文件，但是我用vm6.0  mount iso后确得到一个空文件夹，幸运的是之前用vm7.0成功安装vmware tools，在vm7.0中，reinstall vmware tools之后，在 /cdrom/vmwaretools下找到了安装文件，然后拷贝到vm6.0中，进行安装。有了这个安装文件问题就解决了，按照网上的说法，进行安装就ok了。也可以问别人要一个（你同样可以让采取reinstall的方法，然后找到那个安装文件，当然iso要已经处于被cdrom mount状态，iso文件在vm安装目录下能找到，我的是solaris.iso），如果别人愿意给的话。看似很简单的问题，也花费几个小时，希望能帮到遇到类似的问题的人。

Install VMware Tools in a Solaris Guest

VMware Tools is supported on all Solaris guest operating systems that VMware Player supports.

Prerequisites

The virtual machine must be powered on and the guest operating system must be running.

Procedure

1	On the host, select Virtual Machine > Install VMware Tools .

If an earlier version of VMware Tools is installed, the menu item is Update VMware Tools. If the current version is already installed, the menu item is Reinstall VMware Tools.

2	On the guest, log in as root.

3	If necessary, mount the VMware Tools virtual CD-ROM image.

Usually, the vold Solaris volume manager mounts the CD-ROM under /cdrom/vmwaretools. If the CD-ROM is not mounted, restart the volume manager.

/etc/init.d/volmgt stop
/etc/init.d/volmgt start

4	After the CD-ROM is mounted, change to a working directory (for example, /tmp ) and extract VMware Tools.

cd /tmp
gunzip -c /cdrom/vmwaretools/vmware-solaris-tools.tar.gz | tar xf -

5	Run the VMware Tools tar installer.

cd vmware-tools-distrib
./vmware-install.pl

6	Respond to the configuration prompts and press Enter to accept the default value.

7	Log out of the root account.

exit

8	(Optional) Start your graphical environment.

9	In an X terminal, start the VMware User process.

vmware-user

步骤8,9可以省略，直接menu上install vmware tools，然后restart.
